An Arkadelphia, Arkansas couple is accused of animal cruelty after more than 90 dogs, cats and birds were found abandoned in a U-Haul in Little Rock, AR.
Johnny Franklin Maynard, 42, and Sharon Ann Maynard, 54, are to appeal in court Monday September 17, on 172 animal cruelty charges.
The charges include neglect and failure to provide medical aid.
Volunteers and Little Rock Animal Shelter staffers worked overnight Friday evaluating the conditions of the animals.
Purebred Chihuahuas, Pekingese, poodles and terriers were among the menagerie, along with cats and birds.
The owners say they could no longer care for the animals and were taking them to family members in Missouri when the truck broke down.
